h oprah: we're back with colin goddard. he was shot 4 times during the virginia tech massacre. colin's mission has become the focus of a new documentary called "living for 32" because 32 people died that day. in the film, colin goes easy it is to get your hands on a gun. >> how you doing, sir? wonder if we could see your maadi

egyptian. been looking at that thing. >> oh, and i need to see your driver's license. >> i don't have it on me. >> do you have it in the car? are you an ohio resident? oprah: without seeing any i.d., this seller readily hands over an assault rifle for cash. >> and this is what we bought at two gun shows in texas. oprah: from state to state, colin easily buys guns... >> excuse me, sir. how much you selling that for? >> 4. >> thank you. oprah: no questions aske o estás vendiendo >> you'll see a guy that's got just a couple of guns on the table--doesn't have a computer, doesn't have a phone--and when you ask him what do you got to do to buy this gun that he's got, he says sometimes, "all you need is a license," and sometimes you don't even need that. if you tell him you don't have it like i told him, he's like, "all right. well, that's all right." oprah: so do you feel you found your calling doing this?>> i did a >> i didn't know about this beforehand, so this opened my eyes, and it happened in a time

of my life where i really didn't know what i wanted to do after college and all that, so it kind of all came together, and it was also that, and also after i heard about the shootings in pittsburgh and in binghamton, new york, i was like, "i have to address this. i have to do something about this. i can't just sit on the side anymore." oprah: were you surprised every time at how readily accessible guns were to you? >> yeah. these guys were just concerned about the money they were gonna make. i've been around guns beforehand. i'd shot guns. i've been to the range. i've been hunting before. i passed basic rifle marksmanship in army rotc. so it wasn't some foreign thing, but i didn't know that it was really that easy to buy, but when it comes to selling them, it's just like a tv. t bucks, and that's what they're concerned about. that blows my mind. oprah: so when you survive a random victimization such as the massacre there at the school and 32 people are killed, is there a

sense of drive, ambition purpose to your life that shifts, that changes? do you think, "becaustu vida que must do--" >> people have told me different things like that. people have said to me, "you survived for a reason. there's a reason you're here. supposed to do something big," or some people say, "you survived because god was looking out for you that day," and both of those things are hard for me to take in. i believe i was lucky, simple as that, and i'm comfortable with that. he had all the cards in his hand, i say, and when he laid them down, i was one of the ones face up. oprah: so what's your ultimate goal? >> the ultimate goal is just to try to do something about gun violence in this country. "living for 32" is about not only the 32 people who were killed at virginia tech, but on average, there are 32 americans killed by guns every day in this country, so 30,000 people a year. 70,000 people are shot and survive. that's a huge number, and there are things we can do about that. so the ultimate goal is to try to make that impact, try to make it harder for the dangerous people to get their

guns because, as you can see sobreviven en este it's really too easy. oprah: really too easy. thank you. thank you for being here. good-bye, everybody. thank you. miracles do happen.

less complicated. it can be done on an outpatient basis. it is more affordable than a couple years ago it cost $30,000. now, just about $12,000. advances in laparoscopic technology enable him to perform multiple surgeries before lunch. with 15 million americans described as morbidly obese there is a demand. >> cost is $12,000 enough for everything. the savings, it's been shown by studies that it pays for itself in about three to four years. and if patients finance it, like buying an inexpensive car. but this lasts a lot longer than the car does. >> for the rest of his life, he will be physically unable to consume two medicine cups of food at a time. with the hormone removed he won't have the appetite he used to. >> you look better than a couple hours ago. >> a lit bit of pain. nothing unbearable or anything.

>> reporter: complications can include leakage or fluid escaping from the stomach, because the surgery is relatively new, long term complications are unknown. just over four hours later, bob is woozy, achy and on his way home. >> the real hard part is not eating, i guess. i haven't quite figured all that out yet. >> slow and easy when you get up. >> reporter: one patient out the door. couple of hours later, a new round of prospective patients in the door. >> we have an epidemic. that is the definition of a health care epidemic. >> reporter: twice a month he offers a seminar for surgery some consider the best cure for the obesity epidemic. >> it is not uncommon for them to tell us after the surgery that they're not hungry. ever. >> reporter: getting rid of 85% of your stomach may be extreme, but for more and more folks it may be the only cure in their battle against obesity.

i'm matt gutman in louisiana. >> other doctors have had time to talk to patients after gastric bypass, they realize once you stop eating that much, limited to so much, you can have vitamin deficiencies and malnutrition. the doctors in this study say after the patient has their stomach le seenssened they give them a hormone to stimulate their appetite appetite. >> i had a friend. similar surgery the got it done. blood pressure went down. sugar went down. make the choice best for you. best advice for people. when we come back, getting high and hitting the highway. >> some reporters' fascinating experiment involving marijuana and a driving test. see the eye opening results next. . see the eye opening results next. and a driving test. see the eye opening results next.

>> i wasn't okay. that was kind of shocking to me. >> reporter: public safety concerns are a big reason that support for prop 19 seems to be slipping. more than ten points behind likely voters in one recent poll. pollsters admit this measure could bring unlikely voters out of the woodwork. medical marijuana is already mainstream enough here that industrial growers like this one in oakland operate with full knowledge of city officials. >> we pay federal taxes, state taxes, we pay all the normal taxes of a business. >> prop 19 would mean a windfall of new revenues for cash-strapped cities and towns. by legalizing pot, california could save $1 billion a year in enforcement costs and generate as much as $350 million in tax revenues. david wright, abc news, los angeles. >> interesting, that journalists would subject themselves to marijuana for that. >> no one here at "world news now" would do that. not here. >> not for a test like that.

when did you start building this? >> yesterday. yesterday. >> yesterday, when will it be open? >> maximum wednesday. >> reporter: whether or not the disease spreads to the nation's capital, a nightmare scenario, depends on whether towns around the outbreak have clean drinking water. we entered a home and tested their tap water to see if it was chlorinated. chlorine kills cholera bacteria. with a simple test, in minutes i can determine whether the water is safe to drink. i discovered it is not. it is a troubling discovery. one that may mean scenes like this could spread across this battered country. dr. richard besser, abc news, st. marc, haiti. bps new chief executive is hitting back after the gulf oil disaster. ceo bob dudley accused the media of a "great rush to judgment before all the facts were known about the spill." he also said some politicians
